Helen Van Wyk
Sunday night is TV artist night on the local cable. Most of this stuff is a real pain to watch.
Finally they have brought back Helen Van Wyk. To my taste the late Ms. Wyk (died in '94) is the best of the TV artists. This ole gal could paint, and was a good teacher as she went. Last Sunday she painted carrots and this Sunday it was wine bottles wrapped in wicker.
I have her portrait book and I have seen her paint portraits on her TV series, I hope they leave her on long enough to get to the portraits.
I love the way she signs off. She says "maybe next time I'll teach you to make a delicious pea soup."
